BBB can not access Internet via USB to Win-10

kenunix

I can SSH to 192.168.7.2 OK.

I can connect to virtual USB COM port OK.

I can connect to virtual serial COM port to JTAG OK.

Above using putty

 

I can Firefox to 192.168.7.2 OK

 

I can not ping off the BBB to an external address. I.E.  ping 23.194.117.73 ping to 192.168.7.1 OK.

 

Destination Gateway     Genmask     Flags Metric RefUse Iface
default     192.168.7.1 0.0.0.0     UG0  0    0 usb0
192.168.6.0 0.0.0.0     255.255.255.252 U 0  0    0 usb1
192.168.7.0 0.0.0.0     255.255.255.252 U 0  0    0 usb0

 

 

Is the Win-10 set up to forward packets? I need some help here. Thanks.

    Hi Ken,

     

    It's a Windows issue, not a BBB issue. Once you've got the BBB up-and-running, you can shut it down, and plug it into your home router. Then, you can access it as any normal device, and it will have access to other devices.

    If USB is used in this way, then all the usual nonsense (Internet Connection Sharing, Firewall configuration etc) will need to be attempted to try to get it to work.

    shabaz,

     

    Unfortunately my only Internet access is using my laptops WiFi connection.

    Hi Ken,

     

    Another option is a USB-WiFi adaptor - or connect via Ethernet to wherever your WiFi router is.

    Actually what I had to do follows for Internet access. Took some trial and error.

     

    Out of the box the IP addresses 192.168.7.x are only good between two devices.

    Example a Laptop and the BBB.

     

    If you want Internet access to do updates or whatever do the following

     

    In /etc/network/interfaces make the following changes

     

    iface usb0 inet static

        address 192.168.137.2    <=== 137 was used because Windows insisted on it to do WiFi sharing 7 no go

        netmask 255.255.0.0

        network 192.168.137.0    <=== 137 was 7 originally

        gateway 192.168.137.1    <=== What Windows assigned to the adapter in Windows-10 19.09 64-bit home

        dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8  <=== Point to nameserver

        post-up route add default gw 192.168.137.1  <== Add default gateway. Auto up.

     

    debian@beaglebone:~$ route

    Kernel IP routing table

    Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface

    default         192.168.137.1   0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 usb0  <== Updated automatic entry

    192.168.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U     0      0        0 usb0

    192.168.6.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.252 U     0      0        0 usb1

    debian@beaglebone:~$

     

    On the Windows side make sure the Network connection for the BBB or Ethernet 2

    that the TCP/IP V4 setting is set to the 137 address from above. Save it then bring

    up the WiFi  settings / Properties / Sharing and allow sharing and choose either BBB

    or Ethernet 2. Whichever is the new one added. Save it and exit.

     

    Do a clean startup of the P.C. and the BBB.

     

    It should work fine.

    Hi,

     

    About your nice article on the BBB A1 serial connection what USB TTL 3.3V, 5V cable did you use?

    A particular brand/model?

     

    Is a case available for the BBB A1 that you know of?

     

    This BBB A1 can still be powered over P.C. to USB-C? Or, separate power supply Volts/Amps?

    If using Usb-C to power BBB how to connect to P.C.?
